Blowing Snow in Nebraska
Posted by Jerry Barnes on Sunday, February 21, 2010 9:55 AM

We got some snow, so decided to try out the new blade on the rotary I made. It did well, the chute did not clog and it threw the snow well, but the track had gotten some freezing rain first, so  not much traction. Had fun though.

Jerry,

All we have gotten is ice glaze on everything.

It looks like you had fun.

Great pictures Jerry.  Are the blade and housing home made also? I would love to build one but probale wouldn't be able to use it.
